Chapter 201 Opening
The busy day finally came to an end and the restaurant on the third floor was packed.

It lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening when all the guests left.

Cai Wenqing calculated that the daily turnover reached 5,000 yuan, which was terrifying.

When they learned about today’s total turnover, the hotel employees burst into thunderous applause. This achievement reflects their hard work and they share the honor and disgrace.

Of course, He Yukai deliberately asked Cai Wenqing to do this. If the business is good, their wages and even bonuses will be guaranteed. After all, this is the first individually-owned restaurant. If employees are not given hope, their enthusiasm will be much lower.

He Yukai smiled. Although he had expected it to be a huge hit, he did not expect the result to exceed his expectations.

"Everyone has worked hard today. This situation will probably last for a few days. Tell the kitchen staff to start serving dinner. Everyone will be rewarded 20 yuan today."

A boss cannot just make empty promises. He knows that if he makes too many empty promises but fails to deliver, his employees will not feel a sense of belonging.

The waitress screamed, the happiness coming out from the front was because the restaurant had achieved good results on the first day of business and everyone's work was recognized by the customers.

Now I am happy for today, which is equivalent to half a month's salary for others. I am full of confidence in the future.

Half a month ago, I was still worried about work. I have been back in the city for such a long time, but there are only so many jobs available and the street office cannot arrange them all.

I didn’t get into university, but now I feel at peace. Everyone cherishes this job.

When I first returned to the city, my family was very surprised that I was finally home.

But as the waiting time at home gets longer, they start to worry. They feel bad because they have to eat for nothing without a job.

They are all adults, yet they still eat white meals at home every day and do nothing. It would be strange if they could feel comfortable.

After many years of living as educated youth, distribution according to work has been deeply rooted in people's minds. They can no longer sit still. When they hear about the recruitment of workers and students, they sign up. Even if there is no salary, food is provided. At least they don't have to eat white rice at home, and it is not shameful to exchange food for their own labor.

Now I can finally go home happily and go to work happily.

They can't wait to go home and share their happiness with their families. They are very content. Their work has surpassed most people. It depends on their boss. As long as the business continues, they will not be treated unfairly.

The situation in the hotel was recorded by reporters, and many photos were taken for the editor to choose from. They will definitely be reported in tomorrow's newspaper.

The leader was relieved after receiving the call. Although one day's turnover cannot prove anything, at least there was no failure.

This way, after one month, the data can be used as practical data, and can provide data support for discussions on many aspects.

The best answer is that the hotel pays the money to the steel mill, and it is agreed that the money will be paid to the steel mill according to the business tax calculated in the "Provisional Regulations on Industrial and Commercial Taxes" of 1950.

It is equivalent to paying the tax money as affiliation fees to the steel mill, which is equivalent to the income of the steel mill restaurant, which is reasonable.

The hotel recruited a total of 37 people in the kitchen and as waiters, providing jobs for these 37 people and offering a new approach to addressing the pressure caused by the educated youth returning to the city. Overall, it was a very good start.

A pilot project is a brand new attempt. As long as it is beneficial, it can be promoted. At least for now, many problems of uncles can be solved, and tax revenue can be increased at the same time. Why not do it?
The place was still packed today. Employees were so busy that they had no time to eat and could only find time to nourish their stomachs.

Even so, everyone has a happy smile on their face. The better the turnover, the greater the reputation. No one dares to look down on them, and the salary is not low. Where can you find such a good job?

He Yukai saw this situation and knew that it was the service concept and the fact that customers were attracted by the ticket-free service. Of course, the reporters' reports also played an important role.

The tea was reported on the radio and in newspapers. Photos of the waiters’ warm smiles were also published in the newspapers, and in particular, the questions and answers between the waiters and customers were reported in detail.

The waiter patiently asked with a smile if there were any dietary restrictions, what flavors they liked, etc., which made everyone see a different restaurant, which was in stark contrast to the service of state-owned restaurants. Many people wanted to go and see if it was really like what was written in the newspaper.

You take the money and go to spend it. One of them is enthusiastic and the other is cold and hostile to you. Which one do you choose? Xu Huizhen noticed this when she was helping.

Xu Huizhen's greatest advantage is that she is good at observation. Now she is sure that Cha Piaoxiang will become a hit. If she puts herself in Tong'an's shoes and thinks that the money she can get should be spent on it, she will definitely choose Cha Piaoxiang.

Thinking of this, I had some ideas about my future hotel business in my mind. Of course, it was still a preliminary concept and the specific details still needed to be discussed with He Yukai.

We already have our own ideas about the service, and we will improve it according to the way Chapiaxiang does.

Everyone in the Siheyuan already knew that the reason He Yukai resigned was for this restaurant. No one had expected that He Yukai would give up his position as factory director and actually open a restaurant. Yan Bugui smelled something different at the first moment.

Based on his understanding of He Yukai over the years, this person has his own considerations when doing things and is definitely not the kind of person who acts on a whim.

Coupled with his extraordinary network of contacts, Yan Bugui was instantly certain that the wind direction might be changing. He Yukai had already stepped ahead of others, and the situation would definitely be different in the future.

Unfortunately, even if he knew, there was nothing he could do. The newspaper clearly stated that the company was affiliated with a steel rolling mill.

Even so, Yan Bugui was certain that complete release was not far away. He did not tell anyone else about this news, so let everyone discover it for themselves!

They will definitely be shocked by then. It would be strange if they were not shocked when the He family did such a big thing without making any noise.

Thinking of this, I wanted to ask someone to call the eldest son back. The eldest daughter-in-law's father was a retired leader in the supply and marketing cooperative, and I wanted to find out about the situation.

Yan Bugui always believed that as long as he followed He Yukai's footsteps, his family would definitely take off.

Unfortunately, his boss did not believe him and even sneered at the He family's choice. He gave up his good job as factory director and became the person in charge of a subordinate restaurant. He was really throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds. In the end, he would definitely get nothing. He Yukai would regret it one day.

Liu Haizhong did not comment on this news. He knew that he had no one to support him. Now he could only wait and see if there was a chance in the future. At least there was no chance now.

Of course, unlike these two people, Jia Zhang sneered at He Yukai's behavior, thinking that a good factory director should not open a restaurant, and that the He family's good luck ended there.

Although Qin Huairu had a different opinion, she did not refute it. She felt that the restaurant might not be opened for the steel mill, but was most likely opened by the He family themselves, and just used the name of the steel mill. Unfortunately, even if she could guess it, no one would believe it, because private ownership is not allowed now, or there are no individual businesses on the streets.

If Banggeng doesn't come back, everything will be in vain. I'm just a woman.

Yi Zhonghai had the same idea as Yan Bugui, believing that He Yukai must have received some news.

After retirement, Yi Zhonghai became a lonely man and kept reflecting on himself. He recalled He Yukai's operations over the years many times and admired He Yukai's careful planning. He Yukai was a person who thought three steps ahead.

He Yukai is the key figure in why he has become what he is now. It was this junior who pushed him to this point step by step.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai shook his head. He was already an old man. What was the point of thinking about these things?

Each household in the courtyard had different ideas, but unfortunately they were of no use. Nan Yi and Liang Lati were excited. They came to see the scene. Perhaps it would not be long before Nan Yi would be suspended from his job in the factory.

Fortunately, they met He Yukai, who was willing to take them flying with him.

He Yukai contacted Hong Kong Island to send people over for study. The hotel is already on track and the study needs to be implemented. The children will start school soon.

He Yuzhu and his wife went to the restaurant, He Yushui and his wife were in Hong Kong Island, Cai Wenqing went to work, and the children were about to go back to school, so He Yukai became an idler.

I've been looking around these days and working on opening a branch.

Select an address to see if you can buy it in advance. The current idea is to buy a house, and it would be best if all the stores are bought. In He Yukai's eyes, the current houses are very cheap.

Real estate occupies a large part of his heart. These are the escape route for his children. All his current properties are prepared for his children. If they fail to manage their businesses well and go bankrupt, they still have the real estate.

With the development of the economy, real estate in the capital will rise to a daunting level. As long as these properties remain, the He family will be able to stand firm and have a chance to make a comeback.

Even if he was reborn, he couldn't guarantee that he could continue to run his business smoothly. The business world is like a battlefield, and many things are unpredictable.

Han Chunming became He Yukai's exclusive agent, walking around the streets asking for information on buying houses, even those that were demolished. The current houses still had their title deeds and land deeds. What will be the most valuable in Beijing in the future? Unsurprisingly, it's land.

It has not started on a large scale yet. Later, local governments will use land to increase GDP. That will be when He Yukai’s real estate business will start.

Starting next year, we can apply for business licenses for individual industrial and commercial households. It would be best if we can determine the addresses of the four restaurants and complete the renovation this year. He Yukai plans to apply for the first individual business license and immediately start drinking, gathering with friends, and opening the private restaurant.

What needs to be done now is to determine the address and house. As for the chef, He Yuzhu's master will need help. The tea fragrance is decided to be handed over to Ma Hua and Liu Lan.
After drinking, he handed it over to Nan Yi and Liang Lati who was about to go to learn; a lazy cat gathered with friends, and they were short of a chef. Han Chunming could not be tied to the restaurant, so he had to be assigned to another job;
There is no problem returning to the building and temporarily handing it over to Yu Li, as we are in need of a chef;
That is to say, He Yukai needs to confirm at least two chefs, and then when the time comes to expand, he will hand over the power to Lou Xiaoe. Lou Xiaoe has the ability, which she has fully demonstrated in Hong Kong Island.

The manager of Loujia Restaurant fully affirmed Lou Xiaoe's abilities and believed that there would be no problem with her gaining experience for a few years.

Lou Xiao'e has never stopped learning over the years and has the talent of a flower-scattering girl, which may be in her genes. She is vigorous and decisive in business and not the naive girl in life. It seems a bit contradictory, but it is truly reflected in front of He Yukai.

The restaurant will be handed over to the couple in the future. When it develops to a certain level, they can distribute shares. Starting next year, they will not be so timid.

Han Chunming can slowly sell the batch of electronic products in his space starting from the second half of the year, which will be enough to keep him busy for half a year.

At this moment, He Yukai was thinking about everything and was ready to go find Han Chunming. It was time to visit the Broken Marquis. The last time he went to the Broken Marquis to exchange the enamel bowl was also a coincidence. This meeting was to deepen the relationship.

He was quite interested in Polan Hou. He Yukai was not sure whether the one he met in the black market that year was Polan Hou, but he felt it was him.

Although they were all disguised, the look in his eyes that resembled Yan Bugui was unmistakable. Sometimes He Yukai even wondered if there was any relationship between Polan Hou and Yan Bugui.

Cai Quanwu is his uncle, so what about Polan Hou and Yan Bugui? Pianerye and Yan Bugui have no relationship, which He Yukai has already verified.

I didn't meet this guy when I bought a house last time. In fact, they had met more than twice, but he probably didn't remember him.

The first time he was in the black market, he was in disguise and Polan Hou couldn't recognize him. If he had recognized him, Tang Bohu's Crouching Tiger Picture would have been remembered. Who knows how much resentment Polan Hou would have?

"Chunming, are you there?"

He Yukai had nothing to do, so he came to find Han Chunming and planned to sit at the broken shop. It was a good opportunity for them to meet and get to know each other formally, and it also provided them with an additional place to discuss antiques.

"Brother, I'm here"

This kid is acting sneaky, and it's obvious that he's up to something.

"Did you find something good in your shopping? You're so sneaky."

"No, brother, I'm just trying to think of a solution. I saw a good thing and wanted to give it to Xu Jingli, but there are so many difficulties. I racked my brains but couldn't think of a solution."

Since Xu Jingli's parents are antique lovers, of course we have to cater to their preferences. Ever since he saw that thing, he wanted to get it. Xu Jingli's parents will definitely be satisfied.

"Oh? Can it still stump you? You are smarter than a monkey when it comes to old things. You can even put aside your pride and act like a rogue. I am curious, who has defeated our Han Chunming?"

He Yukai looked at Han Chunming with amusement as he had a sad face. This kid was so cunning and now he was like this. His curiosity was completely aroused.

"Brother, excuse me for making fun of you. This person is also a collector. His name is unknown. I have only dealt with him once or twice. He collected a Huanghuali box from the Kangxi period. Brother, you should know what this thing represents. The most important thing is the inscription by Emperor Qianlong. Neither money nor objects can make him interested. He is not interested at all. It's a headache."

When he thought of the sticker box, his eyes lit up. It was definitely the best choice as a token of love. Then the shining eyes dimmed. The guy refused to listen and was kicked out as soon as he expressed his intention.

"Oh? I'm a little curious and want to go and take a look. How about it? Take me to find this great man?"

This is just perfect. Just when he wanted to get acquainted with Hou Polan, the opportunity came. He also wanted to see how Hou Polan protected his treasure.

"Let's go. It doesn't matter if we're kicked out together. I'm not afraid, buddy."

Seeing that He Yukai wanted to go, Han Chunming certainly didn't want to give in. With sincerity, even metal can be broken.

"Dare to come out?"

Hearing that he was being driven out, He Yukai almost broke down.

"Yes, it seems possible. It is extremely difficult to get his things."

I feel depressed when talking about this. That guy is the typical one who only takes in but does not give out. He refuses to accept anything. He is like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard.

"Come on, take me to see what's going on. Let's go to the tavern first. We can't come empty-handed."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Han Chunming would never refuse to go to the pub.

He did not miss any opportunity to get close to Xu Jingli. He Yukai looked at the excited Han Chunming and smiled slightly. It’s great to be young.

Thinking back to the time when I was pursuing Cai Wenqing, from being shy in the beginning to being angry when I saw someone approaching Cai Wenqing, my predecessor was also like this. He was not afraid of anything even if it meant fighting in a ring.

Men and women are attracted to each other, and it is normal for yin and yang to be in harmony. It's just that this boy was a little too lascivious. Fortunately, it was Xu Jingli. If he was just a show-off, this boy would have suffered a lot.

"The ragged Hou came out to greet us, the distinguished guest has arrived"

Han Chunming walked into the dilapidated yard and started shouting. He Yukai looked at him and smiled.

The reason why he likes Han Chunming's personality is because he is not pretentious. He Yukai likes to deal with such people.

He is not pretentious in normal times, but has means at critical moments.

When Han Chunming was fighting for the land in the play, He Yukai was positive that business is business, especially when Su Meng said that it was natural to give it up, He Yukai felt disgusted.

Why do you take it for granted? Is it because you are a woman? I am angry at Han Chunming's dog-licking behavior.

If it weren't for this kid's bad habits, would she dare to take it for granted? Definitely not!

"What are you yelling about?"

A man in tattered clothes walked out and looked at Han Chunming with dissatisfaction.

This kid is here again. He always takes other people's things, but this kid actually wants to take my stuff. He is looking for the temple gate with a pig's head in his hand. You are overthinking it.

Han Chun knew that this guy was still brooding over what happened last time.

"I say, Broken Hou, you don't have to be so defensive against me, right? I brought an honored guest here today, so give me some face."

At this time, Polan noticed He Yukai, who was watching them bickering with a smile on his face. Isn't this Cai Quanwu's nephew?

"Excuse me, Cai Quanwu's nephew, haha, we have dealt with each other before"

Polan Hou looked at He Yukai in confusion. He Yukai knew that this was not the first time he had dealt with Polan Hou. They had met directly at the scrap collection station. As for the matter in the black market, Polan Hou probably didn't know that he had broken the rules and competed with him.

At that time, He Yukai was really not a member of the circle. Strictly speaking, he was barely considered to be in the circle when he was studying Uncle Guan's notes.

He Yukai didn't respond. Last time, you, old man, took advantage of me. But what you don't know is that I was the one who took advantage in the black market. Do you want me, old man, to fight with you, Master He?

"Come on, let's talk inside if you have anything to say. I'd like to make it clear in advance that anything is negotiable. As long as I can help you, I won't hesitate to do anything. Just don't go after my things, or don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Polanhou knew that Han Chunming must have something to discuss when he brought people here, and since he was not familiar with them, he ruled out the possibility of reminiscing about the past.

What is left of him when he is broken that he can be remembered? Isn't it the things he collected? Use words to block him in advance to avoid embarrassment when he speaks out.

The people at the scene are all smart people, how could they not understand what Polan Hou meant.

"Ragged Hou, see there is no pork head meat, and there is also the fine wine that the tavern has collected for ten years. Can we go in and talk? You are setting the rules before we even enter the door. Isn't it a bit unmanly of us Beijing men?"

"Are you the deputy director of the steel mill? What's your last name?"

Hou Polan looked at He Yukai in doubt and surprise. He remembered that he heard some time ago that Cai Quanwu's nephew was the deputy director of the steel rolling mill.

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

He Yukai was also surprised. He didn't say anything. Could it be that he had something to do with the deputy factory director?
"Hey, everyone in Zhengyangmen knows that you are the only one who can drink the good wine that Xu Huizhen has produced in the tavern for more than ten years. Even Master Niu can only drink two taels of wine. It seems that you have already drunk two kilograms. Nice to meet you."

The politeness of the post was not about the position of deputy factory director. He Yukai was quite famous in Zhengyangmen and many people knew him.

Although Polanhou didn't often go to the tavern, he knew this Wagyu Master.

Pian'er Ye and even Uncle Guan have a good relationship, so he is being polite.

As for the identity of the deputy factory director, it was just that it was not his rest time and he couldn't help asking because he saw that this guy was so free. In his mind, those leaders were very slow, but none of them were as free as He Yukai.

"It's me, why don't you invite me in and sit down?"

He Yukai looked at Polanhou with a smile and said, "Since you have already seen through it, there is no need for me to hide it."

"please"

Hou Polan was straightforward. He was also curious about what kind of person this person was. He was able to argue with the proprietress of the silk shop without losing, and he was able to make friends with so many people. He would gain more knowledge every day.
